[161] Now at that time, while a robe was being made for a certain bhikkhu, the cloth was not sufficient for all of it to be of cut pieces. They reported this matter to the Blessed One. "Bhikkhus, I allow two [robes] of cut cloth and one of uncut cloth." Two of cut cloth and one of uncut cloth were not sufficient. They reported this matter to the Blessed One. "Bhikkhus, I allow two of uncut cloth and one of cut cloth." Two of uncut cloth and one of cut cloth were not sufficient. They reported this matter to the Blessed One. "Bhikkhus, I allow the addition of a supplementary piece (anvādhika) as well. But, bhikkhus, one entirely of uncut cloth is not to be worn; whoever should wear one commits an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa)."
